In 1812 a Swiss named Pauly in vented the first cartridge shotgun. The primer was separate from the shell much like a muzzleloader. Then in 1832 Lefaucheux from Parris invented the pinfire shell. Were they sold empty or loaded, I don't know, but our European counter parts were way ahead of us. What came first, the chicken or the egg ? At 71 I try not to give these things too much thought. I have enough trouble trying to remember why I went into a room or what it is I wanted. Charlie, it sounds like you knew the answer to your question before you ask it.
